She denies being upset (6)
I believe the answer is:
denise
'she' is the definition.
(woman's name)
'denies being upset' is the wordplay.
'being upset' is an anagram indicator.
'denies' is an anagram of 'DENISE'.
(Other definitions for denise that I've seen before include "Miss Van Outen" , "- - Lewis, pentathlete" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
